While this is a great step forward, it also means that too many people claiming to be “experts” are jumping on the coaching bandwagon. We, and publisher Pfeiffer, think it’s time to disseminate best practice so that it becomes the norm. Based on our success with the highly acclaimed first edition of Coaching for Leadership, we are certain that we are best qualified to perform this important task. With almost 25,000 copies sold, Coaching for Leadershipis easily the most successful lead- ership coaching book in Pfeifferhistory—as well as one of the top five general Pfeiffer coaching titles of all time. It is an invaluable and timeless compilation of theory and thoughts from some of the world’s best thinkers and has become a key resource for indi- viduals, leaders, practitioners, and teachers involved in the burgeoning field of executive coaching. As Warren Bennis said, “It’s the single best collection of writing and writers on executive coaching. It’s really become a ‘must have’ for the library of all coaches.” Due to the great success of the first edition of the book, Pfeifferhas commissioned us to update and expand Coaching for Leadership. This new and revised book, Coaching for Lead- ership: The Practice of Leadership Coaching from the World’s Greatest Coaches, focuses its messages on two key audiences. The first is the rapidly growing number of executives who are reaching retirement and aspire to become executive coaches. The second new au- dience is the corporate HR department, which is now faced with new challenges in un- derstanding and managing a coaching intervention. It delivers the well-researched best practices of the world’s finest coaches and includes updated versions of some of the arti- cles published in Coaching for Leadershipas well as many entirely new articles. 01_977632 ffirs.qxd 9/1/05 7:17 PM Page ii 01_977632 ffirs.qxd 9/1/05 7:17 PM Page iii About Pfeiffer Pfeiffer serves the professional development and hands-on resource needs of training and human resource practitioners and gives them products to do their jobs better.
